A high-profile officer of al-Hashd al-Shaabi (Popular Mobilization Forces-PMF) told Shafaq News Agency that units from the PMF's 15th brigade and the special fluvial regiment of the northern PMF axis, in conjunction with the 52nd brigade of the Iraqi army and a unit from the Quick Reaction Force (QRF) carried out a large-scale search and combing campaign in the vicinity of the Bestamli basin, Amerli lake, through to al-Ayoud village.
